Speakers for Schools
I give talks to schools under the auspices of the organization Speakers for Schools. I will be speaking to students from Benton Park School on the topic of Accent the Positive on 17 November.
I will also be talking to students at Elliot Husdon College, on 14 December. We have yet to agree the topic for that talk.
I've written a paper!
Retired and in lockdown – and free from having to think about REF – I had nothing better to do than to write a paper on a topic that has almost nothing to do with my main research. Testing the November Alfa Tango Oscar Spelling Alphabet It is about the 'spelling alphabet' that people use in radio communications and the like. I don't think it's publishable, because its results are at variance with those in the literature, and anyway no-one is going to diverge from the current Nato standard.
Having mentioned its existence to various family and friends ('What have you been doing in lockdown?'), I suspect it has had more readers than most of my publications. If you can be bothered to look at it, comments will be very welcome.
